April and Ginger Aaron-Brush met at the University of Montevallo in 1997 and have been together ever since. Two years the couple married in Massachusetts. On June 10, 2014 they filed a federal lawsuit against the State of Alabama seeking a ruling that prohibits enforcement of a state law that prevents the recognition of same-sex marriages in the state

Alabama probate judges who refuse to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples could ultimately be jailed for contempt if they disobey a federal judge's order, a few legal experts said Saturday.

"If the (federal) court issues an order and they refuse to comply with the order, then the court can find them in contempt of court, which could result in a fine or incarceration until they purge themselves of the contempt," former U.S. District Court Judge U.W. Clemon said. "I don't think that's likely to happen," he quickly added.Full Story

I'd pay 50 bucks for ringside to watch these two go at with matching vibrators

I don't understand all the resistance to gay marriage. WGAS? Let them get married.

I knew a couple of gay guys in school - if you don't think these people were born gay, you're a retard.

Why deprive them of experiencing the "joys" of marriage first-hand?

That's not the real issue here. I agree they should be able to marry whomever they want. The issue is can the federal government dictate to state officials what actions they must take. I don't even know the law there about same sex marriage. But unelected non-legislative individuals creating "law" by dictate is a dangerous thing. They presuppose that the federal government is somehow "superior" to states, which is far from true according to the constitution.

some people dont like people being gay, i get that.
but banning them from marriage doesnt stop them from being gay or doing gay stuff, so i dont get that.
the same reasons why straight marriage is good for society, also applied to gays
what happened to family values

I get it. I just find it necessary to occasionally push back against the media's disinformation campaign which tries to paint all persons who reject the judicial activism present in these cases as homophobes. Some of us just want the legislative and judicial systems to work in the manner in which they are intended.
